Over the past decade, clinical research has led to much progress in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) management, identifying novel therapeutic targets and FDA approval of two new therapies, crizanlizumab and voxelotor, in the fall of 2019.  Numerous clinical trials of novel therapeutics and potential curative therapies are ongoing.  Large patient registries from the US and Europe have begun to increase our understanding of the disease and its complications. This year’s poster walk will feature six posters that reflect the breadth of SCD clinical research taking place internationally with an emphasis on newer therapies, clinical outcomes and predictors of vaso-occlusive events and acute chest syndrome and end-organ complications of the disease.  This session aligns with the ASH Research Priorities of studying hematologic diseases across the lifespan with an emphasis on the use of large datasets.
